# 4.18. I don't like the default KDE directory after installation. How do I move it without breaking anything?

Assuming the default is /opt/kde and you want to move it to /usr/local/kde. Here's what you've to do:

1. change to superuser if you aren't already

2. mv /opt/kde /usr/local/kde

3. ln -s /usr/local/kde /opt/kde

This will put all your KDE files in /usr/local/kde but everything is still accessible with /opt/kde.
